“I knew from the beginning that Trump was going to win. I’m here with my daughter and two very good friends and I’m so thrilled to be here and experience history.”

“I basically came to witness history.”

“[I came to the inauguration] as a celebration for Trump. I agree with a lot of his views, as far as his Christian views on stuff. I am a Christian minister. I agree with a lot of his views, such as being pro-life. Since he supports those views, I can accept him as a presidential candidate.”

“It means a lot, hopefully we will get to fix things. There’s a lot of broken things in the military, you know, in our country. We’re not together. We’re not together at all.”

“There’s been times where I would slip [in my support of Trump]. He would say something crazy and then I would doubt it. Then he would take a couple of steps back and correct what he said and then later on he would win me back again.”

“It means a lot to be here because I’ve admired Trump and I think he’s the man to bring us together and, I think, take us forward. Honor his words at his inauguration. Close the border and honor our laws.”
